To achieve this goal, in the coming time, the Lam Dong Provincial Labor Federation requests trade union levels to proactively review and firmly grasp the business situation and the number of workers, thereby developing appropriate mobilization plans. The focus is on foreign-invested enterprises, enterprises that have just started operating in industrial parks but do not yet have trade union organizations.
The content of propaganda focuses on clarifying the role and benefits of trade union organizations, creating consensus from businesses in establishing grassroots trade unions.
For places that already have grassroots trade unions, the task is to improve the quality of operations, increase attractiveness to develop more union members.
Over the past time, thanks to the synchronous implementation of solutions, workers' awareness of the role of trade unions has had positive changes. Many businesses have also proactively coordinated and created conditions to establish grassroots trade unions.
